'The Looming Tower' (Hulu, Feb 28)

Journalist Lawrence Wright's definitive account of the events leading up to the 9/11 attacks receives a dramatic small-screen adaptation in this limited series, executive produced by Wright's Going Clear collaborator Alex Gibney. French-Algerian actor Tahar Rahim leads a cast of American heavy-hitters – including Jeff Daniels, Peter Sarsgaard, Michael Stuhlbarg, Bill Camp and Alec Baldwin – as the intelligence agents and government officials who tried (and failed) to stop the unfolding disaster. It's a chronicle of a comedy of errors in which no one's laughing. STC
